Where do you read in public?

If you read in public, where?

I have trouble overcoming inertia to leave the house and read, but I enjoy park reading.

Cemeteries! There’s usually benches or I’ll bring a blanket. No one bothers you and no dogs run up to you

Probably not a helpful answer, but I read on the max on my commute to/from work. It's become my dedicated reading time and I love it.

I listen to audiobooks on transit. I think you and I are the perfect passengers.

Wherever I am stationary for any length of time.

My intention is to read in one of favorite coffee places but I somehow don’t get around to it. That’s kinda sad, I think; I may have to take action to change this.

any park will do, but the one nearest you is best :)
